Clemson Secures Nation's #1 QB Recruit

[The Jacket]

You really think Eason will be in a depth chart fight at Ole Miss? I think the JUCO coaching he gets in his junior year will really do him some good.

Fair point.

I need to see an article like this in a few years. "Browns coach denies any wrong-doing in savage beating-death of former Georgia/Ole Miss/Mercer QB Jacob Eason during a light scrimmage."

Wonder if Hunter Johnson, (the #1 2017 QB) who's currently committed to Clemson, will think about de-committing now.

meh.. only a 4 star on ESPN

Wonder how long that hair last in Clempson? Those farm boys will have fun with him.

 

[10per]

That is not a flattering picture.

[BuckNasty]

Seriously, what is with these hair styles of late? Are the 70's coming back?

Looks like the little brother dude from Dazed and Confused.

A mullet match made in heaven.

That ain't a mullet. I lived in the 80's. I know mullets. I did mullets proud.

Dwags were the other "finalist".

I've seen him play often. Very talented young man.

Saw him on TV a little bit during the championship game. He's going to be a perfect run/option QB with a decent arm.

Was Tech in the running for this QB?

No didn't even offer iirc

 

[stingmeyall]

We know Tech is never going to be in the same stratosphere as the Tide, Clemson and UGA's. It would be nice if we could out recruit the Wakes, Orangemen and the Blue Devils but not even sure if we can now do that. I do know that CPJ does give us a shot at competing with these teams on the football field due in large part to his unique style of offense. That is all!

He is definitely NOT an option QB. I suspect Clemson will go more traditional offense with him under center and out of the gun. He is not a direct replacement for Watson

 

[LongforDodd]

I think I mischaracterized his skills in my reply in that, although he would do well in our O, he would be a proto pocket passer. He can really evade and take off. He seems to be a taller (but not as heavy) Deshaun Watson with a bit more wiggle in his run. He's very athletic for his size/height.

Eason will be playing to keep his spot on the depth chart when his senior season rolls around.

Eason will be playing to keep his spot next season.

Over Fromm?

Over Fromm?

Most likely. Eason cost them games this season, primarily because he's afraid of getting hit (makes bad decisions to release at slight pressure, slides feet first on runs, drops to the ground if there's a stiff wind at his back, etc.)

Playing in Washington State probably will do that to a kid. I wonder if he would have even started for a top Georgia high school team?
